About this Tour

Thinking of visiting the Taj Mahal but don’t want to plan a long trip? This one-day tour from Delhi to Agra might just be what you’re looking for. It’s a simple plan—leave early, explore the sights, be back by night.

You’ll be picked up straight from your hotel or airport in Delhi in a private car. The drive down the Yamuna Expressway is smooth and quiet—ideal for catching up on rest or just enjoying the view. Once you reach Agra, a local guide will meet you and walk you straight into the world of the Taj Mahal. No matter how many photos you’ve seen, it feels different in person. Calm. Grand. Something worth remembering.

After that, the day keeps moving. The Agra Fort comes next—huge walls, courtyards, and stories of the old kings. Then it’s time for a local meal—nothing too fancy, just good, fresh Indian food. You’ll also get a chance to check out Agra’s markets. The city’s known for marble inlay work, leather shops, and traditional sweets.

By sunset, you’re back on the road. Your car rolls out of Agra, and before you know it, you’re back in Delhi—with a head full of memories and no travel stress.

6:00 AM – Pickup from Delhi (Hotel / Airport / Home Address)

Your day begins early with a warm pickup from your chosen location in Delhi—whether it’s your hotel, airport, or home. You’ll be greeted by your private driver and seated comfortably in a clean, air-conditioned car. The ride to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway is smooth, peaceful, and gives you a chance to catch up on rest, enjoy the sunrise, or simply watch the countryside go by.
9:00 AM – Arrival in Agra & Meet Your Guide

As you arrive in Agra, a local guide will be waiting to welcome you. After a short introduction, you'll head straight to the crown jewel of the day — the Taj Mahal. As you walk through the gates and catch your first full view of the monument, it’s truly breathtaking. Your guide will share the history, love story, and secrets behind the architecture that make this place one of the wonders of the world.
11:00 AM – Visit Agra Fort

Just a short drive from the Taj Mahal, the Agra Fort stands tall with its massive red sandstone walls and beautifully designed palaces inside. You’ll explore the royal courtyards, gardens, and the area where Shah Jahan — the creator of the Taj Mahal — was once imprisoned. Your guide will walk you through the fort’s fascinating history tied to the Mughal dynasty.
1:00 PM – Lunch at a Local Restaurant

By now, you’ll likely be ready for a break. Enjoy a relaxed buffet lunch at a pre-selected restaurant offering a mix of Indian and continental dishes. The food is hygienic, freshly prepared, and known for its local flavors — a nice way to recharge before the second half of your tour.
2:00 PM – Local Shopping and Handicraft Tour

Agra is also known for its traditional marble inlay work, leather items, jewelry, and sweets like Petha. You’ll get a chance to walk through local artisan shops and browse handcrafted souvenirs. There’s no pressure to buy — just take your time and enjoy the experience.
3:00 PM – Visit Itmad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj)

Next, you’ll head to the charming Itmad-ud-Daulah, often called the Baby Taj. While smaller in scale, the marble detailing and peaceful gardens offer a calm contrast to the grand Taj Mahal. It’s often less crowded, so it’s a great place for quiet photography and a relaxed stroll.
3:45 PM – Begin the Drive Back to Delhi

After a fulfilling day of sightseeing, culture, food, and local experiences, you’ll hop back in your car and start the drive back to Delhi. The return trip is just as comfortable, and most guests use the time to nap, reflect on the day, or go through their photos.
7:00 PM – Drop-off in Delhi

You’ll arrive in Delhi by early evening and be dropped off at your hotel, home, or airport. The day ends with unforgettable memories, beautiful photos, and the satisfaction of having explored one of India’s most iconic cities — all in a single day.
